Competitions from 2014 get included as new players are inducted and their old games become ratable.

Inductees for this period include

  • James Barbour (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben Campbell (QUB)
  • Bobby Campbell (Ballynafeigh)
  • Edward Doak (Ballynafeigh)
  • Liam Ferris (Ballynafeigh)
  • Milad Foozoni (QUB)
  • Billy Jackson (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben McBride (Mallusk)
  • James Shaw (Ballynafeigh)
  • James Weir (Ballynafeigh)
